1994 GMC Safari EXT review from North America
"Well Worth It"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Transmission blew shortly after purchase, however, covered under warranty.
Armrest falls off easily.
Battery died after 8 years.
Starter engine wore out after 9 years.
Drivers seat is worn.
Blower fan dying, replaced after 10 ears.
General comments?
This vehicle is defintely reliable, and gets the job done. True to its slogan, the GM minivan is like a rock.
Its built on a truck platform, so everything about it is like a GM pickup truck in minivan format.
After 10 years, all the major components are still functioning very well.
